Hello.
I have a general question I have been searching for on Google and the forum here. I am wondering if someone could tell me some areas that I will notice the benefits of overclocking. What I mean is, I understand it speeds up the CPU, but other than running a quadrant score (which means nothing to me really) where would you see the results to the naked eye?
Since flashing Lightspeed ROM and using Thor's Kernals it does appear that my internet pages load faster and the boot animations load faster. I think it seems like my thumb keyboards pop up a slight bit faster as well.
Are these the noticeable changes? Or are they just in my head since I am overclocking? (OR I think I am)
I am using SetCPU and have the Max set to about 1.5 and the Min set to 1.0 or 1.2 most of the time.
If someone could weigh in with some more knowledgeable information and possibly point me to a nice write up for Noobs like me who are interested in learning more about the benefits of Overclocking as well as maybe a guide for advice using SetCPU (or another App?) that is more recommended by those on here, I would appreciate it!
Thanks!!
Mine's takes about 30 seconds to boot from vibrate to lock screen if that makes any difference. OC to 1.5 using taboonay 2.0 with HV 3.4 kernal.
Mine defiantly seems to boot up faster. I do not play a lot of game on the tab, mainly just internet and movies, so I am not sure I am doing anything that would require such an increase in graphics speed that I am noticing the major differences. Right now I have mine set to about 1.4 and it is very stable with no problems. If I go to 1.6 I notice things start FC'ing more often.
HD playback has definitely improved since overclocking on 3.1, some 720p videos that suffered from random slow downs now play flawlessly with setcpu at 1.5 on performance mode, temps always stay below 35°c hours after being set to performance.
The rest is minor improvements.

Thanks. I will have to take a look at that tomorrow when I am stuck on the plane for a few hours.
Hello,
I'm sorry if i'm annoyng with my problem (i posted the same thing in a different thread, but pointless), but I didn't find a solution.
Ok then, i have the following problem: I noticed that i have a relatively low performance in some demanding games, like Modern Combat 4, or Dark Knight Rises. Allright, i decided to install a new kernel that allows me to modify the frequencies, so I tried Trinity alpha4 (the last prelease version, donno exactly). After overclocking (CPU at 1700mhz and GPU at 750mhz), i did some comparisons. In ES Basemark, before OC my device was able to run the benchmark with an average of 13.05. After OC, fps was almost 20 (19.70). As I have seen, this tablet is able to obtain a higher score, somewhere around 28 fps.
My question is (are):
1. What should I try to improve this crappy performance?
2. Could be a hardware issue, or it's just software's fault?
3. Is there any difference between my version (32gb WiFi) and 3G?
4. Again, what should I do? I'm tired of trying different roms and kernels.
Thank you very much!
1. you can oc your gpu with trinity kernel
2. your score is normal, even better than most. use a different benchmark app, and youll get different scores.
3. there are differences, but they don't affect your es basemark score.
4. enjoy your device. if its gaming, play tegra3 optimized games

1. I use Trickster Mod. I think it does the same thing like Trinity Kernel.
2. I noticed (to other devices) that the performance is scaling better with increasing GPU frequency. Theoretically, I was supposed to get an average of 28 fps with my clocks, but instead, my device does not pass 20.
PS: Is there any way (application, mod, kernel etc) that would allow me to edit graphics quality for Tegra 3? Something like chainfire3d.
Forgive me for being so insistent, but I really need some help. Please.

Have you tried installing custom Roms? By the way, try installing M-kernel and use Performance governor if you are into gaming. Also, some games are just not optimized for Nexus 7, like the Dark knight game. It lags so much on many platforms, not only N7.
I want to hear from those who got their hands on the phone as soon as it came out. Have you guys noticed any degrading performance over the updates Google has pushed out? Before I updated, my phone ran games like Vice City like a charm. Now, on 4.2.2, it seems like some performance has been lost. It may not matter to some, but the gaming performance means a lot to me. The random frame dips on games just kills the experience. Have any of you noticed a performance hit? Also, has anyone found a way to make games run smoother? I've tried Cyanognemod 10.1 Nightly and AOKP V3, but neither seemed to push out the performance standard Jelly Bean does. Faux123's kernel, after overclocking, didn't seem to help either.
I haven't noticed any difference i still run GTA 3 and vice city on maximum setting smoothly and i havent noticed any drop in frame rates
I have never played GTA on Nexus 4. But I did play Asphalt 7, NFS MW on both 4.2.1 and 4.2.2 Franco Kernel. Feel no difference.
hence, give FrancoKernel a try?
It's all in the governor.
Alright. What governor are you guys using? I'll give Franco's kernel a shot, but I would rather stick with Faux's after paying for his app and learning how to use it. I have it set up for maximum performance, but it just seems the games aren't running the way they should. For example, I notice that Need for Speed Most Wanted tends to have a large frame dip when nearing other vehicles. It's not something immediately noticeable, but I can see that it almost does a slow motion sort of thing at moments. Also, with Vice City; With everything maxed out, it'll run fine with the camera directly behind the car, or when Vince is running. But should I need to maybe make a slight turn or a large one, the frames drop unbearably.
Use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aatt.fpsm app to check the ingame fps.And btw with gta vc on stock 4.2.2 with franko kernel,i get 25-30 fps.
Hi, i'm looking for a good rom for gaming and general use (texting, calling etc) I want it to be able to handle games like Mortal Kombat X (at a playable frame-rate)
Currently i'm running on an old build of Optimized CM13 (Which of course is called LineageOS, but i have an old build so it's still Cyanogenmod) I have also tried Game Booster apps but they don't make that much of a difference.
Try an AOSP ROM, not LineageOS. CyanogenMod never tested the code they threw into the source, leading to lots of bugs and a general slowness for LineageOS.
I'd recommend you try GLTools or Screen Shift.
Screen Shift can reduce the resolution of your screen, thus improving performance. And yes, it actually works. I'm using it to play Yu-Gi-Oh Duel Links. Without Screen Shift the game is really laggy, not unplayable but not smooth either, with Screen Shift it it's a lot better and smoother. The lowest resolution I recommend, without having black bars, is 480x854.
GLTools kinda does the same, but it also has more advanced options like emulating another CPU/GPU.
It allows you to reduce the graphics and resolution to improve performance or you can also increase them if your phone's is capable of running it smooth at such high settings (which is not the case for you I guess).
I myself am using Screen Shift. GLTools doesn't seem to make any difference to my game at all.

Thanks for telling me about these tools! will check them out later. GLTools sounds good, hope it'l work for me.
Hello everyone. I have started playing pubg mobile on my s7 edge exynos version and the performance is soo bad. I get like 20fps and the game lags so badly even with around 100ms ping. Someone told me to root my phone and use gltools to optimize the game by setting fake gpu as adreno 630 would fix the frame lag issue. I did so but still there's no significant changes. I know my device might be pretty old for a game like this but i feel bad when i see a less config phone performs better than this. This is my only priority right now to play pubg smoothly. Is there any way i can make the performance better?
Thing that i have tried so far: game tools, performance mode, changing up the resolutions, editing UserCustom.ini with loads of codes provided in various youtubers, turned on 4x MSAA but nothing could give the smooth 60fps gameplay.*
As i am noob about all the kernel thing and overclocking gpu or cpu, will anyone be kind enough to give me a proper solution for better gaming experience? Thanks.
Nah. It should play fine. I'm thinking you should look into connection latency as well. Even a high end gaming rig PC would stutter on PUBG at 20FPS if internet connrction latency is bad. Latency has nothing to do with internet speed. Even if your speed is high, but the connection between your phone and the server goes through a lot of hoops like VPNs, ISP rerouting, etc, latency will be wacky.
There's also the issue of battery age. The phone is about 2yrs old. The battery may have aged and is full of dendrites so it's not giving max power anymore. So even if you set it ti max performance, the battery may not be giving enough power to play it fully.

Would changing the battery help? And i am from Bangladesh, and whichever connection i use, it never goes below 100ms.
100ms latency for a shooting game is pretty bad IMO. Could spell life and death.
Changing the battery will help only if the battery is part of the problem. Right now I don't know for sure.

Use pubg gfx tool from play store
Man, i play pubg in high quality with no lag.
First, install tgp rom with tgp kernel in these advanced settings:
Big: interactive. 2184ghz max/728ghz min.
Little: interactive. 1586ghz max/422ghz min.
Fiops/fiops/bic.
Then install PUBG ANTI LAG and set: graphics balanced - style classic - resolution 1280x720 - fps 60 - shadows disabled - antialising disabled. And set the config.

Same for me, lags, bad fps, 30 or below. settings fake gpu to 630 might bump up graphics settings and cause more lag. so dont do that.

is this underclocking?

Just a little underclock, but you dont have to do that. I just did because pubg heats my phone. I forgot to say to install game tunner and disable game launcher

What fps do you get? and why game tunner?
60fps, game tunner is very good
Yeah I forgot to mention game tuner. It's the tool to properly adjust resolution, fps, and performance allocation on Samsung ROMs.

I had the same problem with my samsung g9350 but I finally fixed it.
Game tuner , Put HW Performance to +3, +4 would drain too much of your battery, this would make sure that your phone is getting enough GPU, frame rate limit to 60 fps, resolution is 75% while im using HD Resolution on game mode just for the Game tools, I haven't tried increasing the resolution yet, im fine with HD for battery purposes.
I have Govtuner set on battery mode, L Speed on Battery Mode, This is just to counter the heating issues caused by HW Performance.
GL tools so I can use MSA 16x, force 16bit rendering, Optimize GLSL Shaders and of course FPS counter.
Firefds Kit from Xposed just so I could disable Touchwiz DVFS. <== This right here is the cause of our problems.
When I play solo or duo, i get 60 fps, since you faked your GPU, you can use Extreme Settings in pubgmobile which limits the cap to 60.
And I just adjust accordingly, like when I play team, sometimes my fps wouldn't reach 60, I lower it to Ultra(40 fps max) or high(30 fps max).
on 80 battery, i get like 4, 20-30 mins games, the device doesn't heat up and is smooth. Hope it helps, I was just like you once, doing everything just to have fun playing Pubg mobile.
Hello. All I can say is that the gpu exynos is not good for the game I have the Qualcomm version and without any change or third application I easily get the 28 fps with the default settings.
Hello bro
I use a tgbkernel and i get awesome performance in samsung galaxy s7 edge exynos, i m playing pubg seance season 6 and i m happie for my phone ?dost use useless apps in phone thank You
Hi bro if you still using the device, how much FPS you get after the new update. Do you use GFXTool?

100ms latency is ok IMO. If you're a good gamer, you could get away with even 200-300ms latency.
